State of the art fire protection for the Amsterdam Fire Department

The new vessel marks the continuance of the Amsterdam Fire Department’s tradition of naming its firefighting boats after the founder of the current firefighting method, organisation and technology – Mr Jan van der Heyde. In fact, the first vessel to take the name was a floating steam injection vessel that dates back to the 1870s.

Innovation.

It was of course a must to equip the vessel itself with state-of-the-art fire protection. The fire department therefore decided to use an aerosol system. 

Size does matter.

Because the Amsterdam canals are quite shallow, size and a compact design in combination with space saving elements such as the extinguishing system were important for this custom-made vessel.
